    Posts like this make me feel old!

    Flimbo's Quest and Toe Jam and Earl 2 are ones that stick in my mind

    A game called California Games or something similar on the C64 - it was the business!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 329 ✭✭duchalla


    Jet Pac or Manic Miner on the Spectrum 48, class....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 403 ✭✭Mensch Maschine


    Mario: 6 Golden Coins in Game Boy and Sonic The Hedgehog on Megadrive and eh...I know there's more, lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,147 ✭✭✭mise


    Used to love Mega-Bomberman and General Chaos on Megadrive for multiplayer with the little bro. Return Fire and Jonah Lomu Rugby on PS1.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭Somnus


    On my Megadrive: Sonic and Knuckles + Streets of Rage

    But most of my childhood was spent playing the original Playstation, so I'm gonna go with Tomb Raider II


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,969 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Eh kind of hard to pick one but the one I poured the most time into was the godly Gunstar Heroes on the megadrive.

    Strictly going with childhood, which is say, under the age of 12...Sonic & LttP wern't yet around. I'd have to revisit my Atari 2600/C64 days.

    I'd probably go with Jungle Hunt or Midnight Resistance


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,973 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    The original Resident Evil is my favourite from childhood! Loved it. Prior to that it was Street Fighter 2 Turbo on the SNES.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,798 ✭✭✭Local-womanizer


    Road Rash on the MegaDrive for me.

    Has to be Mario Bros 3.
    Spent far too much time playing it as a kid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,743 ✭✭✭blatantrereg


    Surivor was fun.

    Theatre Europe was pretty cool. An interesting twist was that you had to avoid winning too decisively on the hardest level, in order to avoid the world being destroyed by an all-out nuclear strike. Certainly avoiding any use of Bological or chemical weapons was required.

    Space Rogue and Starflight/Starflight 2 were excellent a bit later. Space Rogue must have suffered from the naffness of its packaging. Both had good plots with interesting twists.

    at home, Mario 3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,731 ✭✭✭GreenWolfe


    On the Mega Drive: Revenge of Shinobi

    On the PlayStation: MediEvil

    Did it really take this long for someone to mention the hilarity and epicness of Micro Machines?

    Played a lot, overall would be probably Sonic, possibly Mario World 2 on the GB though, played a lot of Golden Axe and Streets of Rage too. There was an incarnate of a Fifa game too that I got a lot of time out of, think it may have just been internationals though. There was a Formula one game that my dad played loads as did I, not sure if the golf game obsession started with the PS1 or if there was one for the SEGA that we played...

    How did I forget about this?! Hours and hours of time spent flying about in wee cars and boats in back-yards and ponds!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,923 ✭✭✭kearneybobs


    Kid Chameleon ALL the way. Fantastic game and fairly challenging.Also spent ages playing Zool, Flashback on the Amiga


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,353 ✭✭✭Sasquatch76


    Of my early childhood, Kung Fu Master on a friend's ZX Spectrum. On my own first console, I'd say Road Rash (Megadrive). The sheer lawlessness of it was breath taking to a 14 year old!


  • Site Banned Posts: 1,856 ✭✭✭paddy kerins


    Mario 64 :cool:

    Command and Conquer many many hours went into it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 626 ✭✭✭Yell0 Man


    Mario Kart or Super Mario World until I had a seizure, damned flashing lights, grew out of it eventually but that curtailed my gaming sessions for a couple of years


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,259 ✭✭✭downwithpeace


    C&C/Diablo/Total Annihilation, those would be what I consider as my early favorites, about the time I really got in to games even though I did play for years before that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,142 ✭✭✭notahappycamper


    Last Ninja 2 on my friend's ZX Spectrum.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,631 ✭✭✭✭Hank Scorpio


    mario all stars on the snes, and donkey kong land on the game boy. i remember being too "sick" to go to primary school a little often ;) even thinking about me in my pyjamas playing those snow levels in mario brothers 1 fills me with nostalgia when all the other suckers were in school!

    donkey kong land nearly made me go insane, i played it on xmas for about 16 hours and that night when i went to bed all i could see was donkey kong when i closed my eyes, and all i could here was the catchy songs. my dad was gonna bring me to the hospital lol. my brother had 6 golden coins on his one, we both got a gameboy that christmas

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,959 ✭✭✭rizzla


    Mega-lo-mania on the mega drive, i put so many hours into that. "You've advanced a tech level"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭FanadMan


    Arcade pacman or karate champ. Could spend hours on either with one 10p piece :rolleyes:

    4-player Micro Machines against friends/family members, constantly trying to one-up each other by trying to push each other off of the track. Sometimes, the race itself would be second to this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,120 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Being strict with 'Childhood' (As in still in primary school), I'd say WonderBoy In Monster Land or Shinobi arcade machines.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,097 ✭✭✭shadowcomplex


    Simons quest and Shadow run(snes version)
